Woman accuser gives evidence

The woman who accuses four men of raping her 16 years ago has been giving evidence at the High Court in Wellington.

The 37-year-old, who is now living in Australia, says the men lured her under false pretences to a secluded location at Mount Maunganui in January 1989.

At the time the woman was employed by a Hamilton organisation, and had been seconded to the Mount for work over the holiday period.

She says she was attracted to one of the accused, who was always very friendly to her.

The Crown alleges another of the accused told her he was setting up a lunch date with the man, but when she got there five men were present - all of whom raped her.
